Welcome to another week of crafting at CAS Colours & Sketches! This week we have a sketch challenge for you to try:

Feel free to flip or rotate the sketch when creating your card or to substitute different shapes for the stars. You're also welcome to change the shape of your card from a rectangular format to a square.

Here is some inspiration from the design team to get your creative juices flowing:

Hello everyone! Welcome to our challenge blog! If you're new here, we
hope you'll join in the fun and creativity. If you're a returning
participant, we're glad you're back!

This week is colour challenge week, and we have some lovely seasonal colours:

We've used Stampin' Up colour names for reference; however, you may use any companies' products for your cards as long as you match our colours as closely as possible. You may also use white, ivory, kraft, or black for your card base and layers, for image outlines, or for sentiments. However, in order to be considered for our weekly winners, you must not use any other colours.

Happy Thursday and welcome to a new challenge. This is Liz with the second Thursday's challenge which makes it a sketch one. The time is flying and I just checked the calendar. Christmas is, gulp, only 10.5 weeks away so it's definitely time to start thinking at least about Christmas cards if you haven't already started. I hope that you'll join in with us this week - we'd love to see you in the gallery.

Feel free to flip or rotate the sketch when creating your card and use any shape you like, it doesn't have to be a heart.

Here is some inspiration from the design team to get your creative juices flowing:

Welcome to a new month and thus it's time for a change in hostess. This is Liz starting you off with a vibrant trio of colours. I looked at our past challenges and saw that we hadn't used emerald envy at all and tempting turquoise was missing a little bit of love, so I decided to remedy that! We look forward to seeing your colourful entries.

The Design Team is pleased to introduce Jo-Jo
as our Guest Designer for the month of October! Her name was selected

cards have been gracing our gallery for quite a while, and we think
you'll enjoy seeing her artwork this month. Here is what she's created
